Rule, Evaluation & Computer Environment

RoboFesta Kansai 2001 RoboCup-Rescue Competition
uses the version 0 simulator that is currently
available as an open resource in the web page. The rule, evaluation, etc are the same
as the RoboCup World Cup 2001. Semi-Final Rule and Evaluation is announced
on the web page. The Final Rule is discussed in detail after
RoboCup Japan Open 2001. The computer environment will be announced
as soon as possible when it is decided. The
participants need NOT make their source code
open after the competition.

Why You Should Participate?

RoboFesta 2001 is operated by Osaka Prefecture
under support of Japan Government. This festival
is planned as an Olympic of robot contests.
Therefore, it includes various contests,
and we can expect a number of audience. Travel
support fund is being discussed by the organizer.
For international participants, remote participation
is welcome.

RoboFesta 2001 RoboCup-Rescue Simulation
League uses the same rule as the RoboCup
World Cup 2001. In addition to that, RoboFesta
2001 is just before the RoboCup World Cup
2001. Therefore, it is the best opportunity
for testing your agents' performance. At
the beginning of this new league, it would
be really useful to know how the other team
agents behave in order to get a high score
at the RoboCup World Cup. Note that your
agent codes do NOT become open. Security
is guaranteed by the organizer. Why don't
you participate?

For international participants, remote participation
is welcome. Organizers will operate your
agents on behalf of you. The results will
be notified on the web page with the log
file. However, your agents must work without
any hack, because organizer staff cannot
change your code at all.

Moreover, you will be able to participate
in discussion about improving rules, competitions,
and research direction. This is important
for contributing solution of socially serious
problems.
